Fall Pedicure Tips From Sava Spa
Filed Under Blog, Nails | Leave a Comment
Savvy SAVA Spa owner, Joanna Czech, best known for her deep pore cleansing facials, eyebrow shaping, and waxing has an A-list celebrity client list including: Uma Thurman, Charlize Theron, Christy Turlington, Kyra Sedgwick, Kate Winslet, Kim Cattrall, Natasha Richardson, and Vanessa Redgrave.
Straight from the lady herself here are her best tips for your perfect fall pedicure:
Exfoliate: If too many months of sandal wearing have left you with dry, cracked feet as they often do, it is important to exfoliate and reveal new skin. This alone will improve the foot’s appearance significantly. Use a pumice stone or similar buffing tool on these dry, callused spots.
Soak: Give your feet a nice soak for at least ten minutes. Water should be comfortably warm and not overly hot. Add favorite scented oils or herbs to the water to soften skin and enhance the experience.
Buff: After feet have been soaked and are soft, buffing will soften the skin even further. Especially pay attention to areas that are still rough even after the soak.
Moisturize: Making sure feet and lower legs are dry, quickly apply a lotion or butter. Those made especially for feet are often better as they tend to be thicker and will provide ultimate moisture.
Perfect: Trim and file nails with the appropriate tools followed by buffing the surface of the nail, which will make the polish adhere longer. Apply oil to nail beds and push back cuticles. If cuticles seem incredibly cracked and dry try using a balm instead of oil, which will better retain moisture. Use an astringent to remove excess oils from the nails themselves, then apply one base coat, two coats of your favorite color, one clear top coat, and then bask in the delight of your stunning digits!
Use an exfoliating foot scrub to start off your pedicure, then drizzle a little of your favorite moisturizing bath oil in your foot soak, also use a foot lotion with Shea butter in it. These tips will make the difference in having the softest feet possible!

The Lips For Fall
Filed Under Blog, Makeup, Seasonal | Leave a Comment
Fall 2007 is all about red lips and glamor galore! Red Lips are all over the place, from the Gucci runway to fashion ads to Hollywood.
What to create your perfect red pout? Start with a lip buffer like The Body Shop’s Lip Scuff to make sure your lips are extra soft and primed. Next apply your favorite lip liner, mine is Chanel Le Crayon Levres Precision Lip Definer. For fuller lips, lips are extra full on this Fall’s runways, apply the liner just outside your natural lip line and sketch the inside of your lips with the pencil to provide a base for your lipstick. To finish your look brush your favorite red onto your lips. My pick for Fall 2007 red lips: Chanel Rouge Hydrabase Lipstick in Russet Moon, a true gorgeous red.
